Down for exactly the people with good ISPs

15% of users say the site is dead. Monitoring says 100% uptime. Both are telling the truth.

The scene

Reported: forum thread: "is sudosecurity down??". Replies split between "works fine" and "dead for me". Screenshots show ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT, not a 5xx.

  • Last Tuesday someone added an AAAA record 2001:db8::10 next to the existing A record, "for completeness".
  • curl -4 https://site → 200 from everywhere.
  • curl -6 https://site from an external v6 host → hangs.
  • The uptime checker runs from a v4-only network.
  • Cloud security group inbound: 443/tcp from 0.0.0.0/0.
  • Affected users: home fiber and mobile carriers with native IPv6.
